Personal Alt Corporations
PACs ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PLANT DOCKABLE STRUCTURES WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL FROM HIGH COMMAND
TEST allows its members to apply to put their alt corporation within the PAC alliance or gain blue status as an Out of Alliance Corp. Known as Personal Alt Corporations, or PACs for short, they are used for all manner of activities that would usually be impossible to the average member of TEST. Not to be confused with actual TEST Corporations, nor non-blue alt corps.
Alt corporations are required to follow very strict rules, any transgressions of the rules may result in an immediate kick of the corporation without warning.
The current PAC Director/Manager/Benevolent Overlords - Tackly Tackleson.
Process for getting a PAC approved
Add a full corp ESI key (from a director or higher) in auth. If there is not one there, the corp will not be approved.
Ensure that all members in the PAC are covered by an ESI key in auth. If they are not, the corp will not be approved.
If there is more opsec involved than a JF PAC or Drug Manufacturing, feel free to send a forum PM directly to Tackly Tackleson.
NEW Only corporations will be allowed to be a PAC. This means no individual pilots or alliances will be set blue or added to an acl.
Send a forum message (not discord, not jabber) to Tackly Tackleson.
1. PAC name (include link to auth profile):
2. Main toon in TEST's name (include link to auth profile):
3. Director key and all members in auth?
4. Description/purpose for PAC:
5. .DED or out-of-alliance?
6. Tell me a joke. Seriously.
Once you have been Approved:
-
Once you have been accepted into .DED, declare support for
New Eden Corporation 98351485 as the executor. (By default, a corp supports the existing executor so if you don't buttons you should be fine.)
Apply to join the group “PAC Owners” in auth. Include the name of your PAC in the request.
-
You absolutely must join the PAC Owners group, as the associated discord channel is the primary means of communication for PACs.
Rules
These may change as we try out the policy and get feedback.
All members must be covered by an auth ESI key in
Auth. There will be no tolerance for alt corps with less than 100% auth coverage.
All members must be the alt of someone in a full TEST corporation who is in good standing.
Alt corps must be be covered by a director key in Auth.
Ratting, Mining, Scanning, and other in-space pve activities are expressly prohibited.
Indy activities (any kind) must be approved by relevant departments; when in doubt, ask Diplomats.
Squad alt corps are allowed to have alts belonging to members of an alliance that is currently at or above +6 standings. Alt corp CEO must belong to a member whose main character is in TEST.
PAC Purposes must be declared to diplomats during PAC application; if the purpose of your PAC changes, contact alliance diplomats.
Wormhole PACs (including daytripping) are not permitted.
Incursion, “krabbing” or any kind of tax evasion is prohibited.
Advertising HyperNet offers using a PAC is prohibited.
Members of PAC's are not authorized to send alliance mails - 1b ISK fine for infractions.
Members of PAC's are not allowed to be combat pilots. Exceptions prior Diplo, High Command authorization, e.g. cloaky campers.
PACs max size is 20 pilots owned by a single player. For more than one TEST member in the same PAC or big PACs, contact Diplomats.
PACs can be admitted to TEST or be Blue without being in the PAC Alliance if there is a compelling reason to due so, solely at the discretion of Tackly Tackleson. PACs can also maintain standings with TEST and our allies and not be members of .DED or TEST, but there must be an extremely compelling reason for this, again at the discretion of Tackly Tackleson. If you wish to make a case for this, please bring it up with a diplomat when you make your initial request.
Out of Alliance PACs (baring EXTREMELY special circumstances) will not be blue to the rest of our allies, and as such blues will probably shoot you on sight. You may not shoot back, and any activity that is not jumping and docking is extremely discouraged, if not expressly forbidden in other provisions within this document.
Out of Alliance PACs may not light cynos in blue space.
Special Rules: Citadels
PACs NOT allowed to own citadels or structures.
If we find a citadel/structure that was not authorized it will be destroyed without warning; you will not be reimbursed.
Fees and Taxes
The PAC fee is 100 million ISK per month. Payment is handled via auth Corp Bills function.
Bills are issued on the 8th to the 10th.
Bills Must be paid by the 15th.
-
Failure to pay bills or failure to update ESI key will result in a strike against the PAC. After 3 strikes, the PAC may lose standings/membership without warning.
Payments could be waived for Squad PACs in good standing, as well as PACs who contribute to the alliance in such a manner that benefits everyone (this is at the discretion of Tackly Tackleson and MUST be negotiated beforehand).
Infractions
Mistakes happen. People go AFK and forget to pay fees.
Having three outstanding bills at any time will result in the removal of the PAC.
Corporations are required to verify that they are still in .DED or blue at all times.
